Does any one know the date that the Aussie floor patern was introduced? It also had full length hydrolastic line covers on both sides of the car.

I always thought it was a Mini K or Mk2 S intro but today I saw it on a Feb 68 Mk1 S and yes it was a genuine car with all matching numbers and all the correct bits . It was a shell that had been soda blasted and no - the floor had not been replaced

Maybe I have always been wrong

I'm just replacing a floor pan in my '67 deluxe. It has hydro lines running down both sides.

just the front passangers side brett.
From front to back it has about an inch of the fire wall and finishes about an inch behind the box section that the seat mounts to.
From side to side it has the entire inner sill and almost half the tunnel.

Agh the pleasure of having the right floor pan. The amount of hassle these panels save is a real pleasure...

Has anyone used the full front floor replacement panel yet? Like this one http://www.minisport.com.au/prod1857.htm. Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Is it just me or doesn't the tunnel look right, I think it is missing a small hump beside the tunnel. I want to replace the front floors in my project car with the correct floors (even though I replaced both front floors not that long ago with the only panels available at the time which are not correct).
